integral of (-2sec^2(x))

\int (- 2 sec^{2} (x)) d x

- 2 tan (x) + C

Solution steps

\int - 2 sec^{2} (x) d x

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= - 2 \cdot \int sec^{2} (x) d x

Use the common integral:

\int sec^{2} (x) d x = tan (x)

= - 2 tan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - 2 tan (x) + C
